2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 AMG Line Premium + Electric · LM71 NWR

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 November 2025 at 22,237 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 12 November 2024 at 16,441 miles also passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent upkeep across the most recent two MOT cycles. The only blemish is a failed test on 11 November 2024 at 16,435 miles, but the record shows no defects were flagged on that occasion, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or related to documentation rather than a mechanical fault. The very next day the car passed cleanly at nearly identical mileage, reinforcing that no significant repair work was required. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of low annual use. Between the November 2024 pass at 16,441 miles and the November 2025 pass at 22,237 miles, the vehicle covered 5,796 miles in twelve months. Over its full five-year life it has averaged roughly 4,447 miles per year, well below the typical UK annual figure of around 7,500 to 8,000 miles. The gap between the failed and passed tests on consecutive days in November 2024 shows just six miles of difference, confirming the car was not driven between those two events and that the retest was a formality rather than a repair-driven re-inspection. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection focused on components that low-mileage vehicles often suffer from disproportionately. Extended periods of standing can cause flat-spotting on tyres, seizure of brake calipers, and deterioration of rubber suspension bushes and dust covers through perishing rather than wear. The underside should be examined for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust components, as short trips and infrequent use accelerate moisture-related rust. Tyre sidewalls deserve close attention for age-related cracking, even if tread depth remains legal, given the original-fit rubber will now be approaching five years old. The EQA 250 is an electric vehicle, so the health of the high-voltage battery and charging system cannot be assessed through MOT data alone. A pre-purchase diagnostic scan should be performed to check battery state of charge, cell balance, and any stored fault codes. The 19-inch AMG Line alloy wheels are prone to kerb damage, and the low-profile tyres that accompany them are costly to replace. Inspect inner tyre edges for uneven wear that could indicate suspension geometry drift, a common issue on heavier electric vehicles where bush wear manifests early despite low mileage. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the specific risks associated with infrequent use and the EV powertrain demand hands-on verification before purchase.
